I want to populate the seas with ships & boats. Is GAIST compatible?

    I really like Seafront in FS24, but at the moment it's only doing specific areas, but they work well. Lee

Nice add-ons for 2020.

They also have a global product, but no mention of 2024 compatibility.

I think it is coming before long.

I was under the impression his work was included in 2024? Currently though the ship AI is a hot mess much like the air traffic.

Had it running great in 2020 and now pleased to see it coming to 2024. You have to use their specific recommended settings.

That's great news.

I have the latest version from flightsim.to

Once I drop the files into the community folder, where do you test? For 2020, I checked Seattle, Rio, & NYC.

What are your boat settings for msfs 2024? 

Lastly, do you have to load with real time?

Thanks!

A clarification here would be really nice, as I read different things about GAIST in FS2024.
Some people claim it doesn't work, while other write it worked perfectly fine.

best regards, Mathias

it works, but you have to set the time to current, as I have read somewhere. I have online traffic set to off and ships to ultra. GAIST ships begin popping up almost immediately. Best way to check is in LittleNavMap.

Once the ships spawn, you can change the time and/or date.

 

MS2024 and gaist user here works fine for me.

Gaist ship routes folder and Gaist Ultra V6_1 folders in community folder
Settings in MSFS2024

Under "General" Sea traffic setting to "OFF"

I get plenty of traffic certainly around busy ports like Southampton Dover etc as well as lots of smaller yachts and fishing craft.

LOD settings may also play a part but I'm not the best person to say what you should or shouldn't have. I've got a bit of a beast of a machine and it all works for me your mileage WILL vary.

I haven't specifically tested, I just notice ships around the place, most recently in/out of Livorno while landing at Pisa.

I use the Ultra setting; there's no equivalent of 2020's recommended 20%.

I almost always load historical, I'm simulating real flights.
